Meatloaves? Meatloafs? I don’t like how meatloaves looks. The word. I’m not writing that as my recipe name. It kinda creeps me out.
I went out this weekend. Well, kind of. I first went out to lunch at The Crushery (pretty much my fav restaurant) with Rj and Clark. I made myself blueberry honey chai coconut milk ice cream. I ate all of mine. The guys didn’t finish theirs. The disappoint that fills my loins is unbelievable. I don’t know what I just said. But pretty much they are p*ssys. It’s just fact. Sorry boys.
Then the night came. It was Sarah’s bday and I was totally down to do whatever she wanted. Then I worked out, sat on the couch for an hour because I thought I was going to die, then dragged myself to the shower, then put my workout pants back on (I know I’m gross but spandex are my life) then styled my hair, then went to Sarah’s house, then I sat down. Big mistake. I had been up since 4:20 am and was absolutely exhausted. I made it until 11pm. Then had to go home and pass out. Fail. I suck as a best friend. Then Laura and Steph had to take a cab ride home…from less than 2 miles away. I suck as a roommate.
Then I finished my weekend off with make paleo banana bread french toast. I literally love myself for making this. I’m not joking. Somebody has got to love me so it has to be myself. I’m so narcissistic.
Then I got to meet with Greg from Renegade Fitness and asked him about making mens shirts. I have wanted to make guys shirts for a while BUT the majority of my readers (or at least the people who comment) are women soooooo it’s hard to figure out if they would sell. So I gotta ask you now, if I had guy shirts available, would you buy one!? Or would you buy one for your husband or boyfriend or best friend?
Please let me know in the comments because I need proof that at least more than 10 men read my blog. Pleasepleasepleaseplease. And thank you.
Guess what else I got for ya?! A humiliating cooking video!! Yes, I do dance. Yes, I wear sunglasses while I dance. Yes, I look very pale. Please just support the cause. The mini meatloaves. There I said it. I hated every second of it.

- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

For the sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- First you gotta make your meatloaf. In a pot or pan, add your coconut oil and minced garlic.
- When garlic becomes fragrant, add your onion and green pepper to cook down until onion becomes translucent. Then remove from heat to cool.
- While veggies cool, add your ground beef and andouille sausage to a large bowl, then add your cooled veggies, eggs, almond flour and the rest of your spices.
- Use your hands or a spoon to combine all the ingredients.
- Press meat mixture into your muffin tin. If you are using silicone liners, you won’t have to grease them but if you are not, grease your muffin tin.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- While your mini little guys are cooking, make your sauce.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your saucepan, add your minced garlic and minced onion to begin to cook down.
- Once the onion is translucent, add your tomato sauce, hot sauce, and seasonings to cooking on low and thicken.
- Once the little meat packages are done, top them off with your sauce!
- Eat!!
I’m not a guy but I think I’m a guy trapped inside a woman’s body. Which shirt should I get?
Hmmmm depends on how much boobage you want to show
Making these this week! I’ll work on my dancing on the breaks too but I can’t replicate that awesomeness. One of the bright spots in my day was reading your blog. Now video? Are you kidding me?! My (meat)cup runneth over
I’ve been beggin you for a guy’s shirt for weeks! I’ll buy at least one, probably two if you go with Rob’s camo idea too. I’m also with him on the athletic cut. I’m more of an extra-medium guy though (6’1, 190).
Cook on rock-star
Thanks so much Aaron 🙂 you’re awesome! And glad you’re liking the videos 🙂
my partner on the PD would also buy a guy’s shirt (he bought a woman’s one for his wife at the WODFest)
Siiiick! You guys are awesome!
I’ll take a shirt. picture on it perhaps of a nice manly Paleo meal?
Manly paleo meal…like my french toast I’m posting tomorrow!?
Well I WAS going to buy a shirt. That is until I see you make a “Cajun” recipe and use a Mexican hot sauce. Where’s the Tabasco!? No love for the south. I’ll probably still buy a shirt though.
Lol Damon! I don’t always have everything on hand, that’s what my videos are all about!! Come on bro!
I’ll buy 3 of them.
…and I think “meatloafs” is correct and that “meatloaves” is disturbing.
I can always count on you, huh Tom? Glad you agree with me on the meatloaves thing
I would totally buy a shirt depending on:
A.) Design
B.) Really digging the bro tanks since summer is fast approaching
Bro tanks are hilarious. Maybe I can get a bro tank. I’ll see 🙂
Long time viewer, first time poster. I am a bloke from Australia and would be proud to wear a tshirt, in black. Love your blog, dancing and food
Thanks so much Ashley, and thanks for commenting!!
I’m a female but my best friend says I’m the most manly of her women friends. Laughed so hard when she said that. I’ll buy a girls shirt. Love your blog and your obsessive food talk. I guess I’m in good company …
Thanks so much Karen, people who like to talk about food are good people. Just fact.
This recipe looks awesome! More importantly when can we expect the Banana bread french toast recipe?
I would totally buy a shirt
So, youtube doesn’t usually work on my work computer, but someone was looking at for me tonight because I decided to give a try anyways. I was rewarded for my efforts in dancing. PHENOMENAL!
Lol humiliating is the word
Tomorrow Justin. And, you’re awesome! As usual 🙂
Your dancing rocks. End of story :).
Ummmm Danielle, you and I both know that YOU are the dancer my dear. I miss your badass moves!!
